Gigantic Brass Candle Holders Floor Standing Antique

Antique gigantic brass candle holders made in the late 19th Century to early 20th Century. This floor standing candle holders are very tall. One measures 2′ 5″ tall, the other is 2′ 3″ tall.

Huge candle holders like these were used for lighting when electricity wasn’t available. Also used as alter decor in churches.

Made of solid brass with hand-etched Asian style decor throughout. Featuring inverted baluster and beehive shapes. Each break down to three pieces and are interchangeable. The interior shows a great deal of age, not visible on the exterior.

The exterior has seen many chemical polishes, and due to chemical polishing the Patina (natural darkening of the metal due to age) is light and a bit uneven. No physical damage to the exterior.

Note: NEVER use chemicals for antique metal polishing, elbow grease and a soft polishing cloth is the only way to go. The uneven patina showing on these grand candlesticks will correct itself over the years if chemicals are not used.

The taller candle holder weighs a little over 5 lbs, the other weighs 5 lbs. The candle opening is 2¼” wide. The opening tapers down allowing for 2¼” wide candles or very tall taper candles.
